NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Yankee fever is spreading across the city but apparently Mayor Bill de Blasio is immune.
New Yorkers are fired up and feeling optimistic after the Yankees beat the Houston Astros in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, bringing them one game away from the World Series.
“I’ve been watching all the games and they’re coming through. So hopefully they bring it to Houston and bring it back home with the championship,” said Yankee fan Charles Morales.
But while locals are celebrating the Yankees’ success, de Blasio made it clear he won’t root, root, root for the home team.
